摘要：到了指定的地方，因为那时人们普遍知道了树的好处，所以那时人也特别多.你放下树苗，便开始刨土起来，我和表哥到河里打水浇你植好的树苗，一切都那么尽如人愿，很快，几大捆树苗在我们的努力下就植得所剩无几了.可也就是在这时，一件让人意想不到的事情发生了！
树的精神是高尚的，把绿阴带给人们，将氧气献给天空，它的叶子是无疑是好肥料，枝干又是最好的燃料......它把全身都献了出来，却不图得到任何回报！孩子啊，做人就应像树一样，为祖国人民多做贡献呀！姥爷啊，而今想起这一切的时候，我终于理解了您的用苦良心，终于体会到了您那爱国爱民的赤热之心......
七年了，整整过了七年了啊！以前您眼中的那个未懂事的毛孩如今已是父母的得力助手了，您知道吗？这七年来我每时每刻无不在思念着您，我多么想您啊.您走得太突然了，以至于一句话都没留下.您本来到现在都可以做您的老顽童，可您却选择了死，把生的快乐留给了别人，当那辆大车飞快地向一位孕妇撞去的一瞬间，您用您脆弱的身躯挡住了大车，推开了孕妇......
2001年的3月12日，我永远也忘不了这一天，哭喊声中的你永远地倒下了，倒在了您喜爱的热土上，倒在了未植完的树苗旁......
那天，你兴高采烈地带着表哥和我，扛着刚买的树苗，我劝你不要白受这累，您只是笑笑多少年都过来了，今年能说不植就不植么？阳光下的你依旧是那么美，淳朴而善良.
到了指定的地方，因为那时人们普遍知道了树的好处，所以那时人也特别多.你放下树苗，便开始刨土起来，我和表哥到河里打水浇你植好的树苗，一切都那么尽如人愿，很快，几大捆树苗在我们的努力下就植得所剩无几了.可也就是在这时，一件让人意想不到的事情发生了！一辆在当时算做很大的拖拉机由于破胎速度一时控制不了飞快地朝一位孕妇撞去，您刚好在不到几步远的地方，就在那一瞬间，您扑了过去，把孕妇推开了.您被撞得当场不醒人事.旁边的几位大爷帮忙把您和孕妇送去了医院.到了医院后，医生说由于您被撞到了大脑，出了很多血，其实在半途中您就已经去了，而那孕妇却正常没事，您走了，但您却救了两条命......
在医院，我又听到了关于您的一些事情.您自小家庭贫寒，出生时又遇上抗日.在严酷的环境下，您自强不息，特别是在十年文革时您被人诬陷，受尽酷刑.但您还是听挺了过来，报着对人民对国家的爱，你后来当上了村主任，您勤勤劳劳，无怨无悔，在这期间您不知帮了多少人，做了多少的好事.您自小筹措满志，可惜造化弄人，您常常失败，却永远也没改变对人民的爱......听着这些，当时还幼稚的我也已是泪流满面.您是个多伟大的人啊，您就是一棵树，为人民为国家，你始终坚守着底线，您使我明白了做人的道理，使我不管遇到多大的困难与挫折，都能不忘本！
姥爷啊！如今您亲手栽种的树儿已长大，阳光再烈，它们也无畏的生长着.姥爷，我也一定会做一棵大树，为人民，为祖国，抛头颅，洒热血，常眠地下的您请安心，因为，阳光下的树儿已长大！
The first Arbor Day took place on April 10, 1872 in Nebraska. It was the brainchild of Julius Sterling Morton (1832-1902), a Nebraska journalist and politician originally from Michigan. Throughout his long and productive career, Morton worked to improve agricultural techniques in his adopted state and throughout the United States when he served as President Grover Cleveland's Secretary of Agriculture. But his most important legacy is Arbor Day.
Morton (photo, right) felt that Nebraska's landscape and economy would benefit from the wide-scale planting of trees. He set an example himself planting orchards, shade trees and wind breaks on his own farm and he urged his neighbours to follow suit. Morton's real opportunity, though, arrived when he became a member of Nebraska's state board of agriculture. He proposed that a special day be set aside dedicated to tree planting and increasing awareness of the importance of trees. Nebraska's first Arbor Day was an amazing success. More than one million trees were planted. A second Arbor Day took place in 1884 and the young state made it an annual legal holiday in 1885, using April 22nd to coincide with Morton's birthday.
In the years following that first Arbor Day, Morton's idea spread beyond Nebraska with Kansas, Tennessee, Minnesota and Ohio all proclaiming their own Arbor Days. Today all 50 states celebrate Arbor Day although the dates may vary in keeping with the local climate. (State Arbor Days) At the federal level, in 1970, President Richard Nixon proclaimed the last Friday in April as National Arbor Day. Arbor Day is also now celebrated in other countries including Australia. Variations are celebrated as 'Greening Week' of Japan, 'The New Year's Days of Trees' in Israel, 'The Tree-loving Week' of Korea, 'The Reforestation Week' of Yugoslavia, 'The Students' Afforestation Day' of Iceland and 'The National Festival of Tree Planting' in India. Julius Sterling Morton would be proud. Sometimes one good idea can make a real difference.
For the homeowner, Arbor Day is an excellent opportunity to take stock of the trees on your property and plan for the future. Inspect your trees. Note any broken branches or evidence of disease or insect infestation. Think about how planting new trees might improve the look of your property or provide wind or heat protection. Take a trip to your local nursery to see what's available and to get new ideas. Walk around your neighbourhood. Are there any public areas where tree planting or tree maintenance might make a real difference to your community? Talk with your neighbours. Find out what their opinions are. And, oh yes, plant a tree.
摘要：砍伐树木的坏处很多。大家都知道树木可以循环二氧化碳，假如大量砍伐树木，树木的数量就会急剧减少，我们呼出的二氧化碳无法得到循环。茂密的树木可以阻挡沙尘暴，前两年北京遭遇沙尘暴，整个城市被沙子所笼罩这也是因为缺少树木的保护所造成的。
一年一度的植树节即将临近，我们开始纷纷保护树林和树木。一大半的人认为只有在植树节才要保护树林和树木，我的观点却恰恰相反，我们不能只在植树节保护树林和树木，应该无时不刻的保护着树林和树木。
几亿年前，地球归动物所拥有的时候植物繁茂，到处生气勃勃，布满了绿色，但是，智商远远高出其他动物的人类出现后，植物像被施了魔法一样的急剧减少。那是因为，人类为了建造房屋，砍伐树木所造成的。有的是因为商业需要，大批大批的砍伐树林留出空地，用来建造大楼。正因为许多人擅自砍伐树林和树木，所以大自然被破坏。

大家都知道中原两湾城吧！以前，那里破烂不堪，那些平房的瓦是东一个洞，西一个洞，门是一块木板做的，街道里堆满了垃圾，脏及了。现在中原两湾城建起了公寓、大厦，河水清亮见底，河边杨柳随着微风轻轻摆动，这就是人们意识到了尊重自然，保护环境的重要性。
我希望每个人都能保护树林、保护树木，让都市的生活添一分绿色！
